EB-5 Immigration attorneysRegional centers make money based on their projects. Most projects are loan based. The EB-5 investor''s funds are invested into the project. The EB-5 investor makes a small percentage of interest. The project makes money by charging a higher percentage which is their profit.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysIt all depends on the structured deal. Some developers "rent" regional centers which could charge upfront fees, charge a point per investor, take equity stakes in the project, etc. Owning a regional center can be a profitable enterprise.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysEach regional center is different. Sometimes, they receive a portion of the syndication/administration fee. Sometimes they are general partners in the investor''s limited partnership. A regional center''s involvement in a project must be documented and disclosed to all participating investors and it must be disclosed in the annual compliance filing with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
